Chapter 17 I Think We Can Be Friends

The "Iris" tavern has never been as full as it is today.

All the tables were full of guests from Sui Ancient Town, although they were still full of murderous intent more than ten minutes ago, and countless pairs of eyes with evil elements frantically scanned Zhong Xiaowei like a high-energy washing machine.

The tavern couldn't accommodate so many people, and about half of the outsiders sat and rested against the wall outside with wine glasses.They laughed rudely and unscrupulously from time to time, and the subjects of their discussions were nothing more than supernatural beings and women.

Liao Qiu temporarily acted as the waiter.He didn't reject it, and was even very happy with it.Because going back and forth between the hall and the kitchen increases the chances of meeting Zhong Xiaowei, and you can pretend that the space is narrow and rub against each other's body... Although this kind of physical contact is not helpful for emotional and in-depth communication, Liao Qiu enjoys it.

Zhong Jun arranged a small room for Ling Zihan and Yan Shangzu alone.He knew that the two men needed to have a very private, solitary conversation out of the public eye.Of course, it is difficult for outsiders to know whether the specific communication results are some kind of verbal agreement or the most common "chrysanthemum deep bleeding injury".

A bottle of cassava wine, a plate of fried sulfur ants, and a plate of cold spiny greens are placed on the simple dining table.

Sulfur ants are mutant creatures that appeared after the war.The body size is equivalent to the thumb of an adult, and more than 60.00% of the muscle tissue appears in the body.This kind of ant has an amazing bite. They choose to live in deep underground thermal areas. Their extremely wide diet includes all known animals, even their own kind.

Echinacea is actually a variety of cactus.The difference is that there are more spikes on the surface, and they are also harder and sharper.But as long as the surface hard skin is peeled off, the remaining part presents a pleasing light green color, and the taste is crisp, sweet and juicy.

The bottle of cassava wine that Zhong Jun took out was not the ordinary "Hongfu" for those outside, but a concocted wine mixed with some special ingredients.

A little military stimulant, a little neurotoxin that is enough to stimulate the brain without causing damage, plus a little hyena mosquito urine that has been stored for at least half a year.

These things sound terrible, but together they can produce a very wonderful taste and stimulating effect.

Military stimulants are actually an improved version of the old-fashioned cardiotonic, which can promote the secretion of adrenaline and dopamine.

A small amount of neurotoxin can make the user feel paralyzed, and then the central nervous system will produce a targeted response, and a large amount of naturally produced hormones in the body will be blocked from the outside, so that the user can feel more pleasure while recovering the regional nerves.

Hyena mosquito urine is one of the special foods of the underground world.It is impossible to verify who discovered its effect first.Mutant mosquitoes have inherited and strengthened the sense of deliciousness and energy transformation from the ancestors to human blood.To obtain usable urine, live hyena mosquitoes are first captured and then fed with the blood of humans and several other mutated animals.After three months, the urine can be extracted from the hyena mosquito and put into a container with a silver-plated inner liner to seal it.

The key is to "extract", not to take the normal excrement of the hyena mosquito.

This fortified version of cassava wine is expensive and rarely consumed, even in big cities.

The two wine glasses collided, making a crisp crashing sound.

The two men, who were quite different in age, toasted each other and drank it down in one gulp.

Ling Zihan's understanding of wine is a kind of stimulant.This is also the same perception of all the inhabitants of the dark world.

With a lack of material, no one would drink booze in order to be a hero at the dinner like in the old days.Obviously the stomach can’t hold it anymore, and I have to go to the toilet to empty the inventory and continue to drink until I vomit, become unconscious, vomit blood, and even die from alcohol poisoning.

Although the chair under the buttocks has a clear and incomparable sense of sitting.

Although Ling Zihan's image was extremely clear under the action of his own retina.

Although the stimulation of alcohol spread quickly along the tip of the tongue, and then flowed into the body along the throat.

But Yan Shangzu still feels that all this is not real, there is an elusive illusion.

I was the one who took the initiative to provoke, and the other party had a strong combat power, but they didn't cut off their own heads, but invited them to drink with a very good attitude.

Why is it?
He couldn't see through it, and he wasn't sure, so he could only put a smile on his face and said coyly: "That bastard Wang Chao has eyes but can't see Mount Tai, you killed well...you killed really well."

Ling Zihan pushed the fried sulfur ants in front of him towards Yan Shangzu, nodded with a smile, and did not speak.

He can kill Yan Shangzu, but it doesn't make much sense.

This is a world that values ​​power.Now that Yan Shangzu has been deterred and forced to bow his head with absolute strength, there is no need to kill people.

This is different from treating Wang Chao.

One more friend is one more way.Although the relationship between Ling Zihan and Yan Shangzu has nothing to do with the word "friend", Yan Shangzu has made it clear that he will never oppose Ling Zihan.

The three gangs are united, and the Bonebreaker Gang is the strongest force.

People in the underground world are very smart, and Ling Zihan is no exception.He knows how to take advantage of the situation.Although he obtained supernatural powers by accident, in terms of overall strength, he is actually still humble.

What he wants most at the moment is to break through as soon as possible, at least to become a "B" level primary body.

According to the "B" level modification formula, the required accessories include but are not limited to the "Hengde Type I" robotic arm (or accessories with the same power, the same below), "Mountain Climber" mechanical feet, "high-speed computing" chips and parts that meet supporting standards, "Tieliu" high-energy batteries or "Jialing" internal combustion engines.

These accessories are actually not uncommon.All major groups have heavy factories, regardless of whether the products are good or bad, they can be purchased in various ways, and some sellers can even provide free installation services.

The premise is that you have money, enough money.

Taking the "Hengde Type I" robotic arm as an example, its output power is [-] utility degrees.It is said to be a civilian version of the old pre-war era, originally developed for use as a warehouse transporter.Later, it was favored by the military and included in the metal exoskeleton supporting plan, becoming one of the backup options for dozens of experimental robotic arms.

"Utility" is a special term for mechanical output power in this era.

The current market price of this mechanical arm is five silver dollars.Many groups such as Shenjun Industry, United Iron and Steel, and Dafugui are for sale.Because it is a mass-produced mature industrial product, its performance is impeccable.

But in the eyes of the wilderness wanderers, the price of five silver dollars is too high.

Without considering the appearance, there are many ways to increase the power of other robotic arms to reach the standard of [-] utility.

I won’t go into details about the specific process, which is no different from the transformation of private cars in the old era.As the industry jargon says: as long as you have money, especially if you don’t consider the safety of the driver and the strength of the vehicle body, even a "Changhe" van can be converted into a supercar with a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour.

Check out the aggressive fifty-by-fifty diameter exhaust.Unit: m.

If you need a larger and more bold size, you can also meet it, provided that you must have sufficient psychological preparation. After all, there is still a certain gap between the technology of private car remodeling companies and Shenzhou NO.15.

But no matter what, there are indeed some people in the wilderness who are very skilled in transformation. Buying a mechanical arm of the same power from them is definitely cheaper than buying from a large group's specialty store.

Everyone wants to be strong.

Babies need a lot of nutrients to grow into adults.

The residents of the dark world have a more simple understanding of power.

This is actually a process of wealth accumulation.

Ling Zihan lived frugally and saved six silver dollars.

Liao Qiu saved almost this amount.

Poisonous chicken soup in the old days said it well: everything in the world shows its price.

The same is true for the "B" level primary body, the packaged installation price disclosed by all group forces: 20 silver dollars.

Ling Zihan didn't speak all the time, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.Yan Shangzu didn't understand the other party's thoughts at all, he could only smile carefully, for fear of accidentally offending this young man who had never met before.

Ling Zihan picked up the wine bottle and filled the empty glass opposite.He stared at the anxious Yan Shangzu, and suddenly smiled.

"I think we can be friends." His smile was as sunny as ever, and his sweet voice drew them closer, even making Yan Shangzu feel a little flattered.

Wine is the best conciliator between men, and more importantly, this era does not have the cumbersome wine table etiquette and rules of the old era.After the second cup, the alcohol stimulated the brain to release an increasingly intense excitement in Yan Shangzu's body. While the nerve endings were fully stretched, he also talked more.

"You are really young and promising!"

"Hehe, I'll introduce you to a few women some other day, and I'll make sure you're satisfied."

"If not, why don't you come to our Bonebreaker Gang... I mean, Yazi Town is too small and there are no people there. You can just move to our Sui Ancient Town. You can choose where you want to live. There is also a woman. As long as you like it, I will let her follow you obediently from now on. You can do whatever you want."

Yan Shangzu is not stupid, anyone who can become a gang leader is very smart.

He saw that the young man in front of him lacked social experience, so he invited Ling Zihan to join the Bonebreaker Gang.

This is equivalent to hiring a powerful helper for your gang for free.

If Ling Zihan was older, Yan Shangzu would never say such things.

That is equivalent to adding an opponent to oneself, and it will be the kind that will compete for the position of gang leader in the future.

In "Water Margin", Lin Chong went to Liangshan and was suppressed by Wang Lun in every possible way, for the same reason.

Ling Zihan kept smiling and nodding slightly, but didn't speak.

Yan Shangzu spoke very vigorously, spitting stars flew all over the place, and the third glass of wine quickly bottomed out.

Watching his mood gradually stabilize, Ling Zihan threw out the first step in the plan.

"Old Yan, have you ever thought about becoming the real ruler of the alliance of the three gangs?"
